TUCSON– It was the final game of the rivalry and Sun Devil Hockey made it a memorable one, riding a Joe Lappin hat trick and Robert Levin shutout en route to a 6-victory over Arizona.
“We had a nice, convincing win for our last-ever trip to Tucson, so you can’t complain,” head coach Greg Powers said.
Arizona State wasted no time, lighting the lamp early in the first period on a snipe by Ryan Ostertag. Any hope the Wildcats had of an upset were dashed when Jake Clifford dangled his way to a goal later in the frame.
